Gay Porn Used as Torture
What’s the world coming to? Interrogators at Guantanamo Bay apparently are using gay porn as a means of torture to prisoners. There are so many things wrong with this, I don’t know where to begin. First, it’s demeaning that gay porn would be repulsive enough to people to be considered as a tactic to obtain information. Although, I suppose that some will say they are repulsed by it.... whatever.
Second, the fact that our interregators would even think to use it is weird. I guess that speaks volumes on their feelings of gays.
Third, yeah... this makes me proud to be an American.
Fourth, what are the titles? If they are that bad, I want them!
FBI objected to prisoner treatment at Guantanamo
FBI agents complained of “aggressive techniques” used to interrogate suspected terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to FBI documents released Thursday. One agent said he saw military interrogators force a detainee to watch “homosexual porn movies” and used strobe lights to cause discomfort in the interrogation room. Agents complained that such methods could “result in the elicitation of unreliable and legally inadmissible information.” (source)

I agree bilbored. They are being dismissed for two reasons, really. One (first and foremost), they violated "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". Second, they did it for money. According to the Servicemember's Legal Defense Fund, accepting money for sex would have been a crime regardless of if you are gay or straight (I'm sure this has never happened to straight people in the military). Lastly, one of them is being dismissed, along with these crimes, because he was apparently married and therefore committed adultery.
All of this flies in the face of the fact that, because the military is having a problem recruiting people, they have drastically lowered the standard of the recruit they will accept. They now allow kids who do not have their high school diploma, who have had run-ins with the law and have a record, etc. In other words, the standards have been lowered.
Of course at the end of the day, you are going to be confronted with, "those are the rules and these guys knew the rules....". They will be discharged. What a loss for us and a loss for all the training they have received on our dime.
In my opinion, Don't Ask Don't Tell has got to go, in light of the fact that we are now allowing these very questionable people into the military, many with criminal records, it make even less sense to keep open gays out of the military.
And, it makes no sense kicking a guy out who committed adultery when you are letting guys in who have been convicted of robbery or engaging in a fight and being charged with battery.
The military has lowered the bar here by allowing these people in. They should live with that in all the forms it takes. If they are going to do this, all the rules of separation from service should be reviewed.
I think you may have just come up with a perfect defence for the men of the 82nd Airborne,who are currently being charged for appearing on a gay internet porn site.These men should be rewarded for making such a valiant scrafice for the defence of the nation, not drummed out....Bill
Very true, very true. :)
For me, the voice of George W. Bush gets to me. I'm very serious. I can't stand even listening to him anymore. Yes, I'm totally serious. There's just something in his voice that drives me crazy. When they put a sound bite of him on the radio, that's it - change the station!
I guess what they say is true ... one man's 'meat' is another man's poison ;-) I imagine if they made me listen to Rush Limbaugh, I'd say anything to make it stop.
